Apple crumble and learning to use my Canon EOS 650D

Easy and fast apple crumble - helppo ja nopea omenapaistos

I don't have much of a sweet tooth really (chocolate and SALT licorice don't count), but I do love the combination of sweet and sour. Apple crumble, the very traditional Finnish version with oatmeal on top, is one of my very favorites. There are tons of different kinds of recipes available, but let me share this 15-minute-preparation-time one. If you don't consider the butter and sugar, it is even healthy ;).

Turn the oven to 200 C. Cut the clean apples into slices and toss them into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on top. For the topping, mix all ingredients and spread it evenly on top of the apples. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes, until the apples are soft and the topping has turned golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. A glass of champagne on the side makes this treat even tastier!

After this weekend's projects we still have apples left, even though the kids eat them every day. The kids are growing tired of eating them, let's see if I still need to find ways to use them...

These photos I've taken with my new camera. Nothing I had in mind, but...we have an old well on our yard, it's kind of nice really, but I just couldn't make the photos work. There just seemed to be too much of everything, too many details here and there, and the photos just got too busy, just the way I don't like them ;). So I focused on the close-ups (again). So much easier to take. Another try today.
